MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS

FIRST LOOK: DEADPOOL #5

Deadpool #5 will arrive in stores on Dec. 17 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Daniel Way, with art by Carlo Barberi and a cover by Jason Pearson.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"'Horror Bizness,' part 2 of 2. This is what Deadpool has to resort to, only days after single-handedly saving the entire planet from Skrulls? Oh, thatıs right -- nobody knows about that...Deadpool didn't even want this job. But here he is anyway, in some dank corner of Eastern Europe, going toe-to-toe with an undead plastic surgeon and his flesh-eating clientele, contracted by the head of a greasy paramilitary unit to avenge the zombification of the guy's young, ex-model trophy wife -- and all because Wade's dead broke."

Deadpool #5 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
